One of my favourite strings, BG-80 is very powerful (even at my tension), with very good touch control. The surface is rough, which makes slice shots more effective. Durability is above average.

On the down side, BG-80 is more difficult to string with: the rough surface tends to saw through the mains when the crosses are tensioned (it also likes to curl up when you are unpacking it). The feel is also not to everyone's taste - off-centre hits feel very unpleasant, and the bed is extremely stiff.
